No real changes in the 12 yrs of coleman federal monitoring. Computers have helped track the visits but no real consistent treatment is being done. I could write a book on this. Staff is generally pretty competent and most want to do a good job but incompetent management both in the facilities and in sacramento is the biggest weak link.
